If anyone here has served in the army you would know that every decision you take is with the least risk involved.

There is enough risk in everything you do without you add more to it!

You want to add risk - you are likely to be killed.

yup.that is why it is stupid to join the army in peacetime and go fight someone elses war.

SOB

Armies do not need cowards like you anyway

And what pray tell makes me a coward? Obviously you dont have a valid argument either.

sitting at home and never have seen a day of conflict in your life - then criticizing those people who do so - is the work of a coward.

I dont have any problems with people who do not serve in the forces - not everybody does so - even in Israel the Orthodox do not - and I prefer that they do not - but when you comment and criticize you are a coward.

Who are you to criticize the military?

Even if they chose to go, I still don't see how that's weak minded or moronic.
Moreover, how can it be weak minded if you make a conscious decision to participate in the defence force?

Well:

a) doesnt pay well
b) risks are great

SOB

a. It's not all about money.
b. The courageous like risks.

How does it make ppl courageous to put themselves in harms way for little pay for no reason? Seriously we arent @ war or anything - we dont need defending. the only reason someone would join up nowadays to go overseas and fight in someone elses war is because they want to kill ppl. Not because they are "brave".

SOB

You don't understand things like self-determination, courage, honour, risk-taking, striving for betterment, self-cultivation, serving the country, making a difference etc.

it more stupid than brave and you arent serving this country. it has nothing to do with honour.

you can strive for betterment without going off and killing ppl.

SOB

See, the thing is, you're unable to look outside your own perspective of the world. You filter everything through your own lens. Here's a hint: The more perspectives you understand, the more you will understand the world and the people in it.

Are you going to address the points or keep on trying to insult me? I guess you dont have an argument huh?

SOB

I've already addressed your points. You're just too smacking stupid to realize it.

These are some of the reasons why people serve. There would be others, and I am open to understanding other reasons.
Keeping this in context. That stupid SOB stated that soldiers are only joining to kill people. I am attempting to correct that view.

Nothing to do with Israel - it is you who makes idiot comments all the time about everything.
This time it is the military.

You wonder why so many people here think you are a fool?

Just read all your ridiculous comments.

Even the site owner called you a idiot.

I am not going to get drawn into any type of discussion with you. Every smacking thread you get involved in ends up in the most useless back and forth exchanges that have little to do with the topic at hand. Most members here know this and you've been pulled up on it time and time again, yet none of it sinks in.
You truly are the King of the Retards!

There's plenty of people I wouldn't want in the army, old son. Most of the choccos on this board for a start. They love to bleat on about how great it is to serve, but they wouldn't know the first thing.

Fighting a war is - for the most part - boring. You sit around cleaning your weapon and talking sh!t most of the time.

When you get in a blue it's quick. You're never prepared for it. You do what you can and get out as quick as you can. The last thing you want is heroes smacking around. Sure, most soldiers like a bit of a blue, but we can't stand a smacking hero.

Leave all that bullsh!t to the officers.
